DNN - Redirecting to installation wizard - dotnetnuke

I am configuring my Production Version DNN on other machine, but it is always redirecting to the installation wizard page.
I have googled over it and tried below mentioned solutions.
re-checked database connection
re-checked database is not corrupt.
tried to change below settings to false. by doing so, its redirecting to Install/UnderConstruction.htm page.
Can anybody help me to find solution for this issue?

If you navigate to /install/install.aspx what displays on that page?
I would be willing to bet money that it says the database connection fails, there is something you are missing in your DB setup, or connection string, that isn't working properly.

Getting 404-Not Found Error on running Oracle APE X Application

I have started learning oracle APEX and installed oracle apex 20.2 on my desktop PC just now. I am facing a problem that on running a sample application after install it shows me 404 - Not Found error.
Can anybody help me on this issue?
I had a similar issue when I imported an application. Try this: in application properties untick "Friendly URLs" and run it again.
If you're still getting the issue show the end of your url (all parameters after the server).
I have solved this issue. Actually the issue was with the user rights. I created a new user other the APEX_PUBLIC_USER and then the APEX was not working well because my new user didn't have those rights which APEX_PUBLIC_USER has.
I solved it by configuring the APEX back to the APEX_PUBLIC_USER and it runs well.

Deployed EAR is missing in the weblogic console menu

A weblogic application which is working fine, But on redeploying the .EAR file an error arises mentioning that .EAR file are already existing. On viewing weblogic console menu deployed, It shows no deployed .EAR.
Missing EAR File from Console Menu
This is peculiar, according to you, the application is working fine if that's the case then there should be something deployed on the server, but from the pic, I can't see anything.
This could probably because of the customize table option, it could be possible that you wouldn't have selected any of the available options.
If this problem arises after redeploying, then there is something wrong with the redeployed .ear. If by redeploying, you have just updated the .ear then it's mostly a problem with your .ear, if you have deleted and re-installed the .ear then you should probably check your config.xml file before and after the redeploy. And do check for your server logs when you are redeploying the .ear, that in itself should give a great deal of info.
Please do update your question with the server logs so that it would be easy for me (or others) to debug and help you out, and give an appropriate answer.

Cannot login to Oracle Enterprise Manager Express

I have downloaded Oracle Developer Days Database 12c virtualbox image. I can boot it and access the desktop. When I try to log in to Enterprise Manager (EM) Express using the URL http://127.0.0.1:8888/em I am asked to install Adobe Flash. I install it and get to the login screen.
If I try to login as SYSTEM I get the following error:
But when I try to log in as user SYS I get a strange error: Security token does not match. You must login again..
To me it looks like the credentials for SYS are OK, but there is something wrong with the user in the database. Is this correct and if so how can I fix it? Or is EM Express just not setup on the image?
This document from Oracles Metalink solves it. The solution contains 3 steps:
Make sure that XDB_WALLET is recreated successfully.
Make sure XDB is installed successfully and the appropriate roles, EM_EXPRESS_BASIC/ALL is applied.
Use IE 11.0.9600.16476 with compatibility view.
Mark Stewart's answer covers step 2.
The first two steps are not strictly necessary. It looks like they have already been applied to the image in my case. All I had to do was use a different browser. Opera, Chrome, and IE all worked, but Firefox didn't.
The fact that Oracle installs a browser that doesn't work with EM Express and that Adobe Flash is not installed when it's required is very strange.
Set up a personal user ID, grant DBA to it, and try granting EM_EXPRESS_ALL role to your user ID.
After making sure that a desired account has EM_EXPRESS_ALL granted I just accessed Enterprise Manager using New Private Window in Firefox.
In Microsoft Edge, no problem accessing Oracle 12c EM
In Microsoft IE 11, no problem accessing Oracle 12c EM
In Firefox : Security Token does not match
Found a solution for Firefox on Is there a way to make Firefox ignore invalid ssl-certificates?
Go to Tools > Options > Advanced "Tab"(?) > Encryption Tab
Click the "Validation" button, and uncheck the checkbox for checking validity
Be advised though that this is pretty unsecure as it leaves you wide open to accept any invalid certificate. I'd only do this if using the browser on an Intranet where the validity of the cert isn't a concern to you, or you aren't concerned in general.
I faced this because of the cookie data stored by Adobe Flash. Browsing on Private mode or Incognito did not help. Here are the steps to remove the stored data and start using EM on Chrome:
Go to Settings>Advanced>Content Settings>Cookies
Coose See all cookies and site data
In the cookies search box, key in the hostname used to access EM. I run EM on my localhost and hence filtered by localhost:
You can see Flash data being listed
Click on the item to expand and delete the item related to EM:
The same error still exists in 2019 on EM with Chrome Version 76.0.3809.87. My solution is to add EM URL to the "Allow" section in the Cookies section.
Use internet explorer to login to EM .
The other browser are not compatible with enterprise manager

Transfer dotnetnuke database data to new server

I was given a dotnetnuke v4.9.5.5 database (sql-express about 300MB) and I am trying to get it up and running on a different server. I have tried:
Installing the 4.9 version and
loading the database into the app_data folder
loading the database through the SQL page under the host login (forwards to 404 page...)
installing the 5.x version and
loading the database into the app_data folder
loading the database through the SQL page under the host login (forwards to 404 page... again..)
All of which fail. I cannot find any support on this topic at all. What is the correct way to go about this?
EDIT: wrong info please close..
Here is a good blog on the topic HOW TO: Move a DotNetNuke installation .
The basics are:
Copy all the files and the database, the two are closely tied together.
Update the connection string in the web.config.
Update the portal alias' in the PortalAlias table.
If you don't have the rest of the site files, it may be very difficult. While the database will contain most of the site content, you may be missing some important pieces like skin files, module files, and content files.
So, the first thing you should do is see if you can get the files zipped up and sent to you. If so, it should be fairly easy to get the site up and running. You may have to update the ConnectionStrings in the web.config but otherwise it should run as it.
If you can't get the original files, you could try installing version 4.9.5 of DotNetNuke and replacing the supplied database with the database you were given. You'll need to post the error messages you get if it doesn't work out or consult someone with solid DotNetNuke experience.

DotNetNuke error

I hosted one DotNetNUke Application to my production server, and locally it works perfectly. But, when browsing it redirects to the error page.
How do I set the default.aspx as my application default page? I am getting the error as below:
DotNetNuke Error
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows Vista
Return to Site
Can anyone can help me, please? Will be appreciated.
UPDATE:
Hi, I changed the Path in the PortalAlias table to the server url and default.aspx as the starting page, but it displays the error.aspx as default page.
Please help me resolve this problem..
So, the application works perfectly locally, but not when you put it on the server. Is that correct?
Make sure that your portal alias is valid. If the site is hosted at
http://www.mysite.com
then www.mysite.com needs to be listed in the PortalAlias table
If you open that table in SQL Mgmt Studio, you'll probably see an entry attaching the portal to your local DotNetNuke folder (ie. localhost). Just add a new entry that points to the same PortalID, but with the correct URL for your production server.
Assuming your DNN installation is at "mysite.com", if you navigate to
http://www.mysite.com/default.aspx
do you still get the error page? If so is any error listed?
I was able to fix the issue (for me) by taking the web.config file from a working site with the same version of DotNetNuke and modifying it to have to correct machine key and connection strings. This is my last resort something is really strange procedure.
